Hoolywood battles lasting 5 minutes with 10,000 men dead in an army of 10,001 Real life battles lasting 5 days with 100 men dead and 5,000 men wounded in an army of 30,000... oh my bad i mean 5,000 men who have a 50 50 chance of dying or living...
A lot of people i know talk about how good the Rus pants are but I find that my knees catch the material at the front and it makes walking in the pants uncomfortable. Am I wearing them wrong or something?
You have three options, walk towards the enemy, wait for the enemy or charge the enemy. It's not Hollywood, it's the historic reality of warfare with the exception of gorilla warfare. Y'all trying too hard to be clever
But this is it, here is were it all ends up. Sure you move about until you think the charge will work. It also has todo with able commanders, the languages and cultures of the troops, their composition, training, the terrain, and numbers. Battles of this sort tends not to be recorded, but there are hundreds of examples where both armies form up... then just charge eachother, the winner being the one who had better timing.
The funny thing is that this was a tactic that was used very rarely against an unprepared enemy. But not a well prepared enemy that was already on the field
It could work in an ambush, but for this type of battle, no man, it's stupid. I'd rather make a shieldwall and use cavalry to flank enemies formation, at least it seem good to me
Hollywood obviously does battle not with historical accuracy in mind. But then again - it would be hard to convey whats happening to all but a tiny fraction of history nerds. While also probably be confusing and less pleasing to watch.
Just minor hint for improvement. You have to put your siege weapons in front of your infantry, so you can't protect them and also make ditches behind your infantry, so that they can't move back. ☝️
@@matteorossi1172 IIRC the Abbasid or Umayyad caliphate did the same when they conquered Iberian peninsula from Visigoth, they burn their ships and manage to won the battle
